Checking in to register my anxiety as well. I'm a senior atm, and last semester was rough. I really ought to be enjoying this winter break, but I find myself refreshing my email (and here) even though I know no news is likely coming for the next couple of weeks.
I'm mainly interested in theory and culture, with secondary interests in network analysis, collective action, and organizations. I've applied to a whole bunch of top 20 programs. My interested are quite well represented at most top programs, and given the nature of the job market "caste system" it didn't really seem to make sense anywhere else (or so my advisor tells me). I'm a decent candidate on paper, but damn if all this doesn't set me on edge. Here's hoping someone says yes.
